The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.
